La Vitalis, AOC Cairanne, Red
Sun-drenched hillsides, the scents of garrigue, a mischievous river which changes its spelling… Cairanne is a delightful village, which comes into view around a rocky outcrop and charms visitors with its red, rosé and white wines. The strengths of the Cairanne appellation are a “village” feel, developed by wine-growers over several generations, and a warm, dry climate, which makes for harmonious, full-flavored wines.
The story
On the border of two distinct areas, the Cairanne appellation brings together the Syrah so typical of the northern Rhone and the Grenache and Mourvèdre grape varieties of the deep South.
Vinification
Traditional vinification in concrete tanks (with grapes fermented and aged separately), using low temperature fermentation (under 20°C / 68°F). Long after fermentation maceration in concrete tanks for 2 to 4 weeks.
